James Joll’s classic text is an ambitious and wide ranging analysis of the historical forces at work in the Europe of 1914, and the multitude of very different explanations which historians have advanced to explain the causes of one of the most significant events in modern history. In this new edition, Gordon Martel seamlessly weaves into the original text the enormous amount of new research that has been conducted by historians since the original text was published. This edition also includes a completely new introduction which analyses these new topics and arguments in detail and assesses their impact on the original text, a timeline, and fully updated suggestions for further reading.
